Wests Tigers' effort would make any fan proud, but we fell short on Saturday night.

Taking on the high-flying Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, the Wests Tigers succumbed 46-24 despite playing arguably some of our best football so far this season.

On this edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, Joel is joined by Nick and Declan to analyze the Wests Tigers' performance.

Some of the key talking points include:

• Physicality - how we're still not consistently winning the collision
• Lachlan Galvin's short kicking game
• The performance of Galvin and Latu Fainu
• Luke Laulilii's first game for the season
• The Terrell May V Payne Haas battle up front
• What this side might be able to do with Skelton, Luai, and Samuela Fainu available

Naturally, there are all the 'One Word' submissions from members of the Wests Tigers Podcast Forum too.

Wests Tigers fans are a bit confused about how the team is performing?

We take a look at "Richo's Meter" to try and ascertain if the Tigers' performance was Awful, Poor, Average, Good, or Great.

There's some discussion too about Jahream Bula and his positioning in defense, and one podcast team member makes a big call in regards to comparisons with the Broncos number one.

And our attention towards forwards as well, with a look at the importance of this weekend's game against the Knights.

Speaking of the Knights, there are some reports their backrower Kai Pearce-Paul might be on our radar, we look at what the Englishman could potentially bring to our team.

And don't forget there's an Ambush event that you are warmly invited to this weekend at the Wests Ashfield Leagues Club. Come along and watch the Tigers claim win number three in good Wests Tigers company!

It's another big edition of the Wests Tigers Podcast, we hope you enjoy it. And please don't forget to join in the conversation on our forum.
